people have been using mta pipes to all sorts of scripting/dynamic/futuristic languages for years. that's what procmail is, except it has an ugly language. however it's not like one is using this 10 hours a day. you set it up, and you are done. if this is 1970ish, then so is typing ls (forks and pipes galore) on a terminal, and i don't see anyone complaining about that. i'm not exaclty thrilled with the use of a SQL backing store either, more to install, more to monitor, more things that can go wrong.
